#1 Attack actually occurred outside the Green Zone with 3 reported dead according to this mistitled article:
Suicide bomber hits Baghdad's Green Zone

Attack was a "car bomber" on a 3 SUV "convoy".

Note that it mixes in some UN HR crap as if it's relevant to the headline, which is already misleading. Just more of the usual piss poor reportage.

#2 Yahoo news says: The explosion in Baghdad killed two South Africans and wounded three others working for a U.S. State Department security contractor DynCorp International. The blast apparently targeted a convoy of sport utility vehicles leaving the Green Zone.
